A space of 150 m², a real kingdom of mushrooms, and also of nature. Mushrooms in all their forms and culinary preparations, but also a literary space with books on botanical identification, health, fairy tales and castles... Every morning, before the shop opens, Delphine goes out to collect the mycological species that she presents in her mushroom exhibition. An original concept that the Futé loves!

Objects, as well as more and more, give a peculiar style to the boutique.
